Serbia won the bronze medal in basketball at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Saturday, defeating Germany 93-83 in a close game.

This victory not only marks Serbia’s victorious return to the Olympic podium since their silver medal result in Brazil in 2016, but it also demonstrates the incredible effect of Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic. Jokic’s outstanding effort, highlighted by a triple-double, helped his national side win.

A recent photo of Jokic celebrating Serbia’s bronze medal in the 2024 Olympics has gone viral, revealing a side of the Serbian superstar that fans rarely witness.

The video, which shows Jokic exuberantly partying with his Serbian teammates, has gone viral, with fans around the world reacting to this uncommon exhibition of emotion.

Previously, the fervour of the competition was reflected in the celebrations that followed. The Basketball Federation of Serbia’s official X account eagerly documented and uploaded lively parts of the celebration, most notably Nikola Jokic and his teammates spontaneously singing “Kari’s ON FIRE.” This act represented their energetic performance and the strong solidarity that characterised their journey throughout the games.
